Tom Row of Oak Ridge, renowned for his work with the Rotary Club of Oak Ridge and other worthwhile church and community organizations, will be giving away 5,000 daffodil bulbs at noon today, Wednesday, May 8, in the Oak Ridge Food City parking lot.

‘It’s late for this year, but the bulbs are in very good shape,’ Row told The Oak Ridger Tuesday afternoon.

‘You can put the bulbs in a nice hole, cover them up and you’ll be pleasantly surprised next spring.’ Row estimated the local Rotary Clubs have probably helped plant 65,000 to 70,000 daffodil bulbs throughout the community over the past several years.

Today’s daffodil bulbs will be handed out in 25- to 50-bulb bags, according to Row.
